Chapter 26: Sei-chan’s weakness
Shoot, I really messed up earlier, didnt I?
I rode the roller coaster with Sei-chan because she seemed like she really wanted to ride it, but come to think of it, Im not exactly good with such things.
Im okay with all the screaming and whatnot, but I get sick very easily due to my weak semicircular canals.
I showed Sei-chan how pathetic I looked This is the worst
But Sei-chan on the other hand seemed to be enjoying herself a lot, so that was good.
She was more than happy to see my disgraceful behavior, so my feelings are a bit complicated, but its better than her being disappointed with me.
Anyways, I took a break and recovered completely. So, I headed towards the place that Yuuichi had told me about on RINE.
Right now, Yuuichi and Fujise seem to be buying lunch at a food stall or maybe they just want to find an area where they can sit and eat together..
While heading towards them with Sei-chan, we stopped by a food stall to buy some lunch for the time being.
I bought a hot-dog while Sei-chan only had a crepe.
Is that enough for you, Sei-chan?
Yeah, Ive been a light eater since the start. This is already quite a lot of food for me.
I see. Thats fine then.
Well, some say that one crepe for lunch is not very nutritious for your health, but thats okay for today.
It was a special day today. It was our first amusement park date, and Im not so inclined to argue about nutrition while Im the one whos only having a single Hot-dog in his hand.
Nowadays, a high school students lunch is as good as a single tapioca milk tea, am I wrong?
Sei-chan and I headed towards the place where those two people were and confirmed their appearance from afar.
Then we sat in the same eating area, but kept enough distance so that they wouldnt notice us, and ate what we had bought earlier.
Sei-chan ate a crepe in front of me with her mouth wide open.
Surprisingly, she has a sweet tooth that cant be discerned since she always looks so cool. Theres her Gap. [TLN: The japanese have this trend called Gap Moe where the characters appearance doesnt match their personality. Which some people find attractive.]
As I was looking at Sei-chan with that in mind, I noticed that she was also staring straight at me.
H-Hey, whats with the staring?
Hmm? No, its nothing.
Wa-Wait, Dont say that you want to eat my crepe?
Eh?
Apparently, Sei-chan thought the reason I was staring at her was because I wanted to eat a crepe.
We-Well, sharing the same food is a bit
No, I was just
I-It would be an indirect kiss
Mmm!
Sei-chan blushed and said that. I coughed and groaned because she looked way too cute the way she said it.
Sei-chan, its not like I wanted to eat a crepe, you know?
E-Eh? I-Is that so?
Yep, I was just thinking about how cute you look while eating those crepes.
I-In any case, its still super embarrassing for me!
Haha, sorry about that.
I had been teased earlier during the roller coaster ride, so I was able to return the favor this time around.
HNNG!
Hmm? Whats wrong? Why are you holding out your crepe towards me all of a sudden?
Y-You should eat it too! I-Its because I dont like it when Im the only one who gets embarrassed from such situations!
Eh? No, wait Are you sure about this?
Y-Yes.
I didnt expect that Sei-chan would actually offer me a crepe, prepared for an indirect kiss with me.
And it was even more embarrassing because Sei-chan was the one holding it and I would be the one eating from her hand.
Damn, I didnt think youd be prepared to self-destruct all of a sudden.
I was feeling extremely happy to be able to actually kiss her, albeit indirectly, but I couldnt give up the feeling of embarrassment when the situation actually called for it.
How could I not accept the crepe where I can kiss her indirectly while she says Ahhhh when she offers it to me?
Su-Sure, well Ill go ahead and take a bite now
Co-Come on, eat up already.
Pushing down my embarrassment, I leaned forward and opened my mouth to eat the crepe that was offered to me.
I tried to eat as much as I could in the parts where Sei-chan hadnt really touched, but it was impossible to do so since she had already eaten quite a bit of it.
The crepes were supposed to be full of chocolate, whipped cream, etc. But, Im kind of embarrassed to admit that I cant really taste the flavour of the crepe currently
We-Well, How does it taste?
U-Un, Its pretty good.
Ye-Yeah, I ag-agree.
Sei-chan hesitated for a moment, but then right after, ate the crepe in one big gulp, eating the part where I had taken a bite out of.
Mmm I-Its sweet.
U-Un, yeah. Its really sweet.
I dont really remember much about how sweet the crepes were, but I think were giving off a sweeter vibe now than we were before.
Ive read about this sort of atmosphere in mangas and books, but Ive never really experienced it myself Im feeling so embarrassed right now.
Perhaps Sei-chan felt the same way, as I saw her blush in embarrassment as well.
And then me and Sei-chan glanced at each other at the same time and began laughing at each other, due to the strange atmosphere surrounding us
Haha, I didnt think Sei-chan would do something so embarrassing.
Fufu, you too, Hisamura. I cant believe youre so shy.
Ah, yabai. Im having such a good time with Sei-chan. Im so happy Im dying. [ED: die]
Later on, about the same moment that we had finished eating, I saw Yuuichi and Fujise finish eating and move on to their next destination.
Yuuichi and Fujise began eating earlier than us, but those two seem to have bought and eaten quite a bit of food.
I knew Yuuichi ate a lot, but I guess Fujise eats a lot too.
Thats right. Shiho was a little concerned about it, but Shigemoto also seems to eat a lot, so they look right for each other in that department.
I had never heard of this before. Fujise was never described as someone who ate a lot in the original story.
To be honest, the Ojojama manga is a popular manga, but its not really a long-running series yet.
Theres not even 10 volumes out currently. There should be quite some information about characters that were not fully divulged about yet.
For a while after that, we watched Yuuichi and Fujise go around the amusement park normally again, so we also went into the exact same attractions that they did.
As the purpose of the original date was to keep an eye out for Tojoin. We didnt go to all the attractions that they did.
Its been about two hours since we finished having lunch, and so far we havent really seen Tojoin-san around.
It seems that Tojoin-san is supposed to interfere around here as was said in the original story.
Now, what do you think those two over there would go to next?
Of course it would be the attraction that they went to in the original story, which is yes, I knew it.
Its a haunted house.
Its a typical amusement park date in a romantic comedy manga, the haunted house chapter.
You know, the kind where the heroine gets scared and goes Kyaaaaa~ and sticks to the boy tightly, and theres a bit of a lucky pervert situation happening as well.
Although this story is a bit different from the normal cliche. Since Yuuichi is the one scared here instead of Fujise.
As such, Yuuichi was desperately proposing to Fujise to not go to the haunted house. Sei-chan stared at me while he tried his best.
Fu-Fujise, can we not go here? This place is to scare children and we shouldnt enter since were High-school students.
Eh, I actually like these attractions quite a bit. Besides, it doesnt matter if its to scare children, were at an amusement park right now, were here to remember the fun that we felt when we were kids. O~hoh~ could it be that youre actually scared, Shigemoto-kun?
N-No, Of course not! Why would I be scared of an area designed to scare ch-children! Lets go there then!
Fufu, lets go then.
Yeah, this is just like the original.
Fujise already knows that Yuuichi doesnt like haunted houses, based on his current reaction and such, but thats the exact reason she wanted to go in with him.
Fujise is surprisingly a sadist, isnt she?
Well there were a lot of fans who liked that part of her. Well Shigemoto also likes it, which makes him a guy with that kind of hobby. [TLN: Tojoin-san furiously noting down.] [ED: hes gonna wake up and get tied up now isnt he]
Wait no Does he really?
Ill ask him about it next time
Okay, looks like those two are going in. Then well go ahead and ente-
N-No! We dont need to go in too now, do we?
Eh?
Sei-chans words made me raise my voice questionably.
Lo-Look, its dark in there, so Tojoin wont go ahead and disturb them there. Ye-Yeah, theres no point for us to go there too.
We havent entered every attraction they went to but no matter how I look at Sei-chans refusal now
Eh? Could it be that youre bad at haunted houses?
I-Im not bad with them. Its just that I dont see a point in going along with scares that are aimed towards children.
No, youre giving almost the exact same excuse as Yuuichi
I didnt think that Sei-chan was bad with scary things. I guess that information hadnt come out in the original story yet.
No, well, most normal girls are not very good at it.
It was rather odd for Fujise to walk in there happily.
But well, this is making me want to go in even more now.
I like these attractions a lot. Isnt it fun to be a kid again and go to places like that? Right, Sei-chan?
Uuu
Come on, lets go now.
I-Im not very good at it
Eh? Did you say something?
I said Im not good at it! To be honest, Im not a fan of those haunted house-like things!
Oh, I didnt expect her to be so honest about it.
Thats right, you dont have to force yourself to be stubborn like Yuuichi, its fine to be this way.
Oh, I see.
Are you disillusioned with me now?
No, I wont be disillusioned with you just because you dont like haunted houses. When you put it like that, Im not good at roller coasters either, you know?
O-Oh, Thats good to know.
But well, Im sorry. I really want to go to the haunted house with you Sei-chan.
He-Hey why? Didnt I say I wasnt good with it?!
Thats why, or rather, I thought you would be absolutely adorable if you were scared, Sei-chan.New n0vel chapters are published on
Youve got a bad personality, you know that!?
No, no, if you put it that way, Fujise would be the same as me, you know?
To be honest, Im having a lot of fun in my heart.
In fact, I think that Sei-chans best friend has a worse personality than I do, you know.
Well, Im not saying you have to. But you were scared when you were a kid right?
We-Well yeah?
So maybe youll overcome it now that were in highschool, you know? So you might actually be able to enjoy it now instead.
Th-Thats true.
Well, my real hope is that Sei-chan hasnt gotten over it at all, and that shell show me how incredibly cute she is when shes scared.
Hey, thats really rude of you, you know.
Im just being honest.
No, really, Im serious.
Im really, really serious. I know Im saying the same thing twice, but Im really serious.
I want to see Sei-chan get scared by a ghost even if it kills me.
I think that even if you havent conquered it yet, youll enjoy haunted houses a lot more than people who arent scared of them. I think that would mean you can enjoy haunted houses a lot more than others, Sei-chan.
How badly do you want to go to a haunted house right now?
So much so that it has become the most desired attraction in this park for me right now.
O-Oh so you want to go in that badly huh?
Im neither good nor bad at scary stuff, but I really want to see Sei-chan scared out of her wits.
Fi-Fine if youre so insistent about it, lets go in then.
Whoa! Really?!
Yeah, Ive always wanted to get over this weakness of mine. I havent been in one since grade school, so maybe I can go for it now.
Oh, I really didnt expect her to agree with me all of a sudden.
I really wanted to go there though. I was prepared to get down on my knees and beg if I had to.
Okay, lets go then. Well, if you really cant handle it, we can retire whilst in the middle of it, so I think we should be fine there.
Once Im in, Ill stick with it till the end.
Thus, Sei-chan and I went into the haunted house that Yuuichi and Fujise had gone into.
